Congratulations to our most recent Seton Shields Genealogical Grant recipient!

I wonder how many know that Wikipedia is a non-profit organization that operates off of donations. I didn’t, and yet I use it all the time. And yes, as genealogists, we know that it’s a good idea to double check information found here, but what a terrific resource for getting a running start on just about any topic. I know I hit it up for everything from 19th century politicians to obscure Ukrainian villages, so this month’s grant goes to the Wikipedia Foundation in gratitude for a resource that’s often taken for granted.

You can apply for a grant here.
